Golden, prayers for your daughter and of course you.

There have been stories of people here in B.C. who have long haul covid. There is one woman in particular they have been profiling on the news. A lovely woman. Only in her late thirties. She can't even walk more than a few steps without her heart racing. Says she even has to sit down to brush her teeth. Walks with a cane now. They showed her on the news just the other day. She's aged five years since the last time they showed her which was just before Christmas. She was warning people who are slacking off with their social distancing etc. to be careful. No one wants to end up like her.

I think most people are okay even after they get covid but there are always those stories. Be forewarned.

Gladimhere,
True!
Even something called Covid Psychosis.

I went to those links, but did not find the article.

I came across this story about the impact of COVID 19 on the brain. Worse than Alzheimer's Disease? Only time will tell. I hope all are doing what they can to avoid this virus.

Golden, I was diagnosed with this stage 34 plus years ago. I in fact found the cancer in my lymph nodes under my right arm; two of them were fused together and about the size of a large olive pit. When they biopsied them they found them to be adenocarcinoma from the breast but could not find the breast tumor even with all the tests, so had a mastectomy on the right (found the tumor, teeny for all that, but had still already moved to nodes). I had adjuvant chemo after surgery. Refused the radiation. 34 years later here I still am, mean as ever!!!!! Wish your daughter good luck in this. She can do it. Don't do any of that "you have to think positive" stuff. Let her think anything she wants. Putting anything on that someone is suggesting they are responsible for their cure, and that isn't the case. They are so much smarter now in staging and identifying different types of cancer (when I had my mastectomy it was basically estrogen receptor positive or estrogen receptor negative). Advances a plenty. She CAN do this!

My dd has stage 2 breast cancer, which is curable. She had another lymph node biopsy and depending on the results of it (likely positive) she will have chemo before surgery (lumpectomy), surgery, radiation, then more chemo, hormone therapy and I think one other therapy. Most of this will be in Edmonton. She feels positive, is a brave woman and really likes her oncologist. I feel fairly helpless. I can listen and encourage, and help with the added expenses, but it's her battle, not mine. I know she is and will be more tired for the next quite awhile. Prayers appreciated.

I think the saying is at the end of the rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.
Sounds like what you are doing Send. I hope things settle down long enough to tie the knot.

Leaving this empty.
Because when I deleted my post, it said, written in red, that I cannot leave this empty.

glad - going up here too, and all over Canada. A couple of provinces may have peaked and be on their way down. I hope so.

281 new cases in the last 7 days! That is a lot for this small county! The numbers were in the twenties, just two weeks ago. That is what happens to those that just do not pay attention to what is going on and bide by the recommendations.

Getting used to the new NH. My new wheelchair got delivered. Monday PT will come to help me lead how to get up. My surgeon says I can be out of the sling for half an hour a day. Looking forward to this little bit of progress. Having surgery on my leg and ankle a week from next Monday. Counting the days.
